If Carter thinks 1 year of NCAA success & bigger signing bonus > jump starting your career and getting to a $30M+ on a your last contract year works in his favor then I tend to think he’s not confident in his pro ball future. Move on

What evidence do you have that he will get to the majors faster as a 17th round pick vs a top two round pick next year?   He could go to school for another year and still get to the majors the same year he would have had he signed this year.

It makes Creed Willems feel better.

He transferred to LSU (along with everyone else in college baseball this summer lol) so I imagine he's not signing for less than seven figures. He was a legit top 10 candidate entering season. Keep in

This is the first time they've ever gone above the pool amount.   There was no way they were going to get both Walters and Young signed.   If they get McLean then they've done about as well as could h

Keep in mind they’re only going to actually get 50% of whatever the bonus is between taxes and fees. I think starting your career with a good amount of money in the bank to help kick you off and a college degree, isn’t a bad choice.

Absolutely agree with this. Look through the past first-rounders in BaseballReference and see how many never made it to the majors, so never got a chance to even get to arbitration, much less a big contract. And that's just first-rounders, where teams seem more motivated to push to the majors just to show the team didn't completely err when picking them. Athletics in general are a gamble, but baseball especially is a beast given how many levels you need to succeed at before you get to the one that actually pays you. Putting yourself in a position to take as much as you can guaranteed right away, and hope you get lucky in the future with your health, skills, and opportunity seems to be the surer play.

He lasted this long into the draft because his number was too high for most teams knowing he wanted to attend LSU. The Orioles appears to have tried a 17th rounder (the definition of a lottery ticket) on him in the hopes that they could maybe sway him with the money they had left over. 

He decided not to.

I've heard about the tools but at the end of the day, the kid didn't perform very well last year overall besides hitting a few bombs. Good luck to him.

Totally agree with this.  Almost no 17th or 18th rounder will ever make it.  Why not take a flyer on a guy and then hope that you can save enough in the first 10 rounds to woo him?

Exactly, and you're hoping maybe having 800k presented in reality, along with starting your pro career, and not having to write any more college papers, will sway them off of the 1.5 number they quoted during the draft*

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either.

      It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.

      I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?

      I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship.

      We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers

      The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.

      Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
